Cheese-Stuffed Grilled Ranch Bacon Burger recipe.

Summer is almost here! We’ve already got the pool open for the year, the grill fired up and the cornhole games set up in the yard. I am ready for a fun-filled, sun-filled adventurous summer! Aren’t you? Every year in the summer and the spring, we grill out at least twice a week, depending on the weather. Sometimes it can be as many as 4 or 5 times a week. I love experimenting with lots of different recipes on the grill. Today, I am going to share with you my husband’s favorite recipe of mine that we cook on the grill. Besically I just started adding a bunch of stuff in a bowl with hamburger and he was like ”oh this is delicious!”. Haha! So now he asks me to make these burgers all the time. We add a whole lot of spices and a whole lot of toppings, but you can make them anyway that you want! This Cheese-Stuffed Grilled Ranch Bacon Burger is delicious!

First, I always start with about a pound or a pound and a half of lean ground beef. I put it in a mixing bowl and start adding things on top of it, before mixing it together with my hands. I start by adding my spices. I add a tablespoon of Gourmet Burger Seasoning or any burger seasoning you might have. Then a couple teaspoons of salt and black pepper. A couple of teaspoons of garlic powder and onion salt, as well. Then I add in a few squirts of ketchup and few small splashes of Worcestershire Sauce.

Next I add a few tablespoons of Ranch dressing to the mix. Now I must warn you, never add more than this. It will make your burgers fall apart while you are cooking them on the grill. And that is never fun. Next, I mix all of these ingredients together by hand and then make them into 4 patties. You want to have large patties if you are going to stuff them with cheese! Then I take some cheese (I prefer mozzarella) and cut it into about half inch-sized cubes. I use about 3 of these per burger. Then I just make a little indent in the patties with my thumb and put the cheese in there and then try my best to cover them up and make the patties back into shape.

Then I fire up the grill on low ( I like to slow cook them), and cook them for about 20 to 30 minutes or until your desired doneness. Some people like them well done, some do not. I do! And also be careful of the cheese, it will drip while you cook them!

Next, the toppings! While the burgers are cooking, I fry up some bacon and some large Portobello mushroom slices! I also get the lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, ranch dressing, ketchup, mustard and/or steak sauce ready to go. Also, for this large of a burger, you want to have a good size sturdy bun like a pretzel bun or something similar. Then you top it with whatever you like! And you are all set. Those black parts on the burger are not burnt spots! They are the portobello mushrooms! Here is the recipe that you can print out! Enjoy!

It’s grilling and cornhole season at my house, too! Your cheese-stuffed burger looks delicious! Cheese makes everything great and we know that everything tastes better on the grill. I’ll be trying this recipe soon!

If you lived close, I’d be right over for a swim! It is so humid here in Ohio today! Those burgers look amazing. My husband passed away suddenly in the fall of 2013, and we haven’t grilled since. I need my 17 year old son to figure out how to use the grill. I miss grilled food!

Ohbhh these sound good, but I think I’d add extra cheese inside! But only because I LOVE melted cheese. I don’t like cheese when it’s cold, but give me some really yummy-tastic melted cheese!
Saying Cheese so much as made me want Nachos!
The pictures are mouth watering, aside from the tomato, but only because of my texture issues. >.>

Our cornhole boards are ready, but we still haven’t opened our pool yet. We usually do on Mother’s Day weekend, but it’s done nothing but rain and the husband has been sick. I’ll have to surprise him with these burgers…they look amazing!

Your bacon ranch burger sounds absolutely delicious! I love bacon and I love ranch, but I have never tried adding ranch dressing to my hamburgers. I am definitely going to have to give this a try at my next bbq~ thanks for sharing your recipe!

This burger looks so good and I know my family would love this for sure. I would have to teak the recipe a little for myself because I don’t like any dressing at all. These we will have to try this weekend. Thanks for sharing,

Great minds think alike, we’ve done this also and it is indescribably amazing. Just looking at it makes me want to eat them again. Not so good for my cholesterol though. Guess I could substitute turkey burger…hrmm, off to the kitchen…
